I Hate Everything (But You)

He was sitting there beside me,

throwin' doubles down

When he ordered up his third one,

he looked around,

Then he looked at me and said,

I do believe I oughta have one more

He said, I hate this bar

and I hate to drink

But on second thought,

tonight I think I hate everything.

Then he opened up his billfold

and threw a 20 down

And a faded photograph fell out

and hit the ground

And I picked it up,

he said, thank ya bud

I put it in his hand,

He said, I probably oughta

throw this one away,

'Cause she's the reason

I feel this way,

I hate everything.

I hate my job,

and I hate my life

And if it weren't for my two kids,

I'd hate my ex-wife

I know I should move on and

try to start again

But I just can't get over

her leaving me for him

Then he shook his head and

looked down at his ring

And said, I hate everything.

He said, that one bedroom apartment

where I get my mail

Is really not a home,

it's more like a jail

With a swimming pool

and a parking lot view

Man, it's just great, I hate summer,

winter, fall, and spring

Red and yellow, purple, blue

and green

I hate everything.

I hate my job,

and I hate my life

And if it weren't for my two kids,

I'd hate my ex-wife

I know I should move on

and try to start again

But I just can't get over her

leaving me for him

Then he shook his head

and looked down at his ring

And said, I hate everything.

So I pulled out my phone

and I called my house

I said, babe, I'm coming home

We're gonna work this out

I paid for his drinks

and I told him thanks

Thanks for everything
